Wheat conditions in Ukraine are highly
variable, with satellite-derived vegetation health data
indicating excellent conditions in southern and eastern
portions of the country contrasting with locally poor
vegetation health in central Ukraine due to spring dryness
and drought.

In Russia,
widespread showers and thunderstorms (2-30 mm, locally
more) sustained excellent yield prospects for flowering to
filling winter wheat from the southern Central District into
the Southern and North Caucasus Districts.
